I am expecting a mortgage with Santander. I hope to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Ilford. Does the Santander Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose impending roadworks that may affect a commercial land in Ilford?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Ilford will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Ilford. The report provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Ilford.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Ilford it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately may result in delays to Ilford commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Ilford.
My wife and I own a semi-detached Victorian house in Ilford. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Alliance & Leicester . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Alliance & Leicester to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ilford and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Ilford I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Ilford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
